God where are you?

Every day we encounter situations that seem to ask one question regarding our beliefs. Going through life I have come to realise that it's easy to ask this question and waver. Everyday life poses questions that need answers. Speaking with friends recently we conclude that life's challenges seem to as ask one major question "God where are you?". This question is in various forms..."Is God real?"..."Can God do it?"

Every challenge in life can either build or destroy you. If life's circumstances can challenge your thinking causing you to doubt your faith in God the result is tumultuous. It's imperative in life we realise that no matter how hard the winds blow in the storms of life God is real. In fact He is more real than the person next to you. 

Why do I believe He is more real than the person next to me? Think about the following statements and am sure you will agree with me...
  • He is the Creator...We may not see Him but we can see His handiwork. 
  • He is the Source of Life...He breathed into Adam and he became a living soul...He still can breathe into that dead looking situation you are facing!!!
  • He is the Lifter of your head....How many times have you hung head bowed in defeat but down the road the journey turned into victory.
  • He is the Way Maker....He makes a way where there is no way....History shows that God has been in this business of life longer than that challenge causing you to doubt.
  • He is the Potter....stop looking at the pot of life. The pot may look beautiful but it's the Potter who makes the pot we ought to appreciate for the beauty and splendor of life. Gazing at the pot is to lose focus on who makes the pot beautiful.
  • He Reigns....irrespective of what you may think God is in control. He has not lost the plot. He is working it out for your good. If Jesus rose, you will arise. If Lazarus rose, then you also are a candidate to arise. The question is are you in a place to hear Him calling you to arise from the ashes of life to your place of restoration.
I could go on and on but will cut it short. Challenges deplete our strength and reliance on God. That's why we have to be connected to God to see His strength carry us through life. Remember, "But those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" Isaiah 40:31. God is waiting for you to call on Him. Call Him, He is willing to carry you through the storm.

    Amen. Wait on God...He is willing and more than able to see us through the storms of life.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man...
